根据进来的邮件自动创建申请人并跟踪附件,如简历和求职信

You have seen how to create new applicants from the Applicants form. You can also configure your email server in OpenERP to create new applicants based on incoming mails. For example, if you have an e-mail ID jobs@yourcompany.com, you can configure it such that all emails received at this ID automatically generate new job applicants.

For this, you have to install the fetchmail module by using the Reconfigure wizard and configuring Fetch Emails for installation in the CRM Application Configuration section.

Navigate to Sales ‣ Configuration ‣ Emails ‣ Email Servers and click New. Supply the following information in the Email Servers form:

  • Name : A name for the server configuration.

  • Server Type : Either POP Server or IMAP Server.

  • Add Attachment : Set to True, to be able to retrieve attachments like CVs, cover letters, etc.

  • Server : Server name.

  • Port : Server port.

  • User Name : The username on this e-mail server.

  • Password : The password for access to this e-mail account.

  • Model : The object model for which you wish to generate a record. Select Applicant (hr.applicant) in this case.

Configuring an e-mail server

After configuring your server, click the Confirm button to enable this configuration and start receiving e-mails.

Whenever you receive a new e-mail at the configured e-mail address, a new applicant record is created having the same subject name as the e-mail subject. The applicants e-mail details are stored too, for future correspondence. You can add more details to this job application. You can view these newly created applicants from Human Resources ‣ Recruitment ‣ Applicants and by clicking the Clear button to clear all filters.

在招聘进程中定义阶段来跟踪进程

Rarely will a recruitment process end after just a single meeting or a phone call. It is in fact a string of stages through which a recruitment progresses in order to bear a favourable outcome. You can define the stages which a recruitment process would undergo. Use the menu Human Resources ‣ Configuration ‣ Recruitment ‣ Stages to define various stages.

/doc_static/6.0/_images/recruitment_stages.png

Defining recruitment stages

You must give the stage a Name. Use the Sequence field to give a sequence order when displaying a list of stages. You may also associate the stage with a Department. The stages that you have defined then become available in the Applicants form’s Stage field. Using this, you can qualify an ongoing recruitment process from one stage to another.

定义下个动作以及日期

The Next Action Date and Next Action fields on the Applicants form let you define an action you would like to initiate on a given date. It serves as a reminder to the recruitment officer regarding what step he must take next and on which date.

跟踪申请人的邮件通信记录

Using the Communication & History tab in the Applicants form, you can add notes for internal reference or send e-mails to the applicant. You can also view the history of communication and notes for a recruitment application in the History section.

You can separate multiple e-mail addresses with a comma.

To create an internal note, click the Add Internal Note button. Add a note description in the popup that appears. You also have a choice to change the application state at this stage. Click Add to save the note and see it listed in the History section.

计划电话呼叫或者访问

One of the advantages of using the hr_recruitment module is that you can plan and organise phone calls to and appointments with prospective employees. This is made possible due to its integration with crm module’s Phone Calls and Meetings features.

The survey form

A survey may have multiple pages. Each page may contain multiple questions and each question may have multiple answers. Different users may give different answers to the questions. You can define these in the Survey tab of the form. When you have entered the necessary details in the form, click Save. Since you will use this survey in a job interview, click the Open button to change the survey’s state from Draft to Open.

Then, go to Human Resources ‣ Recruitment ‣ Job Positions and select the job position that the applicant has applied for, or create a new job position. In the Survey field of the Job Positions form, enter the name of the survey you have just created, thus linking a questionnaire with this job profile and making it available for use during the interview.

You can now open the form of the applicant whose interview you wish to initiate. If an Applied Job is specified to which a survey is linked, the Answer button becomes accessible. Click it to initiate the survey, and fill in the applicant’s response as you proceed. After the questionnaire has been completed, you can click the Interview button on the Applicants form to view the applicant’s response in a PDF file.
